I've got one and it's pretty good. I've gotten quite a few compliments on it and a friend's girlfriend has been scouring her local gaps for one for him. For $70, it's a pretty solid shirt. I haven't tried the $98 J. Crew, but will when they go on sale. Now, if I could just fine their grey chambray shirt.. I knew I should've grabbed it the first time I saw it...

Do you live in Canada? The normal gap chambray is $44.50. I think the flagship popover is $49.50. I have the both colors of the normal store chambray. I like the gray one simply because I haven't found a gray for under $175. This season's J. Crew that I have seen looks a lot more like a denim shirt than a chambray to me. Simply not my style. I have two of the older ones though, one is noticeably better fabric than the gap one, one is about the same. The shirt I really like this season is the red and black vintage flannel (there is a white and black version too) that is in the denim shop. It has contrast stitched double pockets and a vent running all the way down the back. WAY better than the boring flannels from Fall.

Oh, doh, brain fart. the 1969 Raw Selvage jeans were $69, the shirt was only $44.50, you're right. For $44.50, it's a hell of a shirt. And, like you, that's precisely why I want the grey. Can't find them for shit anywhere. Seriously, Chambray is an extremely under-utilized fabric. I wish I could find more in blacks and greys..

yeah, the box pleat is rad. i'd buy it if i could also find the purple flannel online.

Can you post up a picture of the grey chambray? I haven't seen it at my local gap. Where did you see it in Canada (I'm in Canada also)?

I'm not in canada. I asked if he was since he was so out of whack on the pricing. but yeah I will try to remember to snap a picture of my gray. Gap calls it light blue chambray but by all defintions it's gray.

I tried on both of those and liked the black/white better. The fit is pretty good, but it's SO damn thin, and at $50, it makes the $70 J Crew flannels seem like a bargain. I do have a 20% off receipt though, and will probably pick it up.

I just looked it up and apparently it's not flannel which is why it's so thin. It's a gauze.

I would assume it's $49 as opposed to the normal $39 or $44 because of all the detail work.
